Question

You then make a screen to identify potential mutants (shown as * in the diagram) that are able to constitutively activate Up Late operon in the absence of Red Bull and those that are not able to facilitate E. Coli growth even when fed Red Bull. You find that each class of mutations localize separately to two separate regions. For those mutations that
prevent growth even when fed Red Bull are all clustered upstream of the core promoter around -50 bp. For those mutations that are able to constitutively activate the operon in the absence of Red Bull are all located between the coding region of sleep and wings. Further analysis of each DNA sequence shows that the sequence upstream of the promoter binds the protein wings and the region between the coding sequence of sleep
and wings binds the protein sleep. When the DNA sequence of each is mutated, the ability to bind DNA is lost. Propose a final method of gene regulation of the Up Lateoperon using an updated drawn figure of the Up Late operon. Explain in detail.

You are studying a new operon that you have discovered in E. Coli that you have named the Up
Late operon for its ability to help E. Coli grow and divide by feeding it Red Bull. You have
discovered three genes (sleep, wings, and energy) encoded within the polycistronic template
made from the operon. The transcription start site is indicated at the arrow and the protein
encoding sequences are encoded by the boxes with the names of the genes inside, with a blow
up of the nucleotide sequence at the promoter, with the transcription start occurring at the C.

F. You then make a screen to identify potential mutants (shown as in the diagram) that
are abie to consitulively activate Up Late operan in the absence of Red Bui and those
that are not able to facilitate E. Coli growth even when fed Red Bull. You find that each
dass of mutations localize separately to two separate regions. For those mutations that
prevent growth even when fed Red Bul are all dustered upstream of the core promoter
around -50 bp. For those mutations that are able to constitutively activate the operon in
the absence of Red Bull are all located between the coding region of sieep and wings.
Further analysis of each DNA sequence shows that the sequence upstream of the
promoter binds the protein wings and the region between the coding sequence of sieep
and wings binds the protein sloep. When the DNA soquence of each is mutated, the
ability to bind DNA is lost. Propose a final method of gene regulation of the Up Late
operon using an updated drawn figure of the Up Late operon.
